St Jude 07 custom bow pictures
« on: January 25, 2008, 11:21:00 PM »
Mitch Walker was the high bidder on last year's auction for the custom bow I would build to specs. He was not sure what weight he wanted for sure so we went back and forth for a few months before coming up with something he was comfortable with.

Again, like I said in my post for the auction, I'm no master bowyer by any stretch of the imagination and when I found out the bid went so high, I knew I had to do something special. Here's some pictures just to tease Mitch a little while the bow is on it's way. I believe Mitch will be going after some pigs with it next week.

Good luck Mitch and thanks for such a generous bid for the kids. I hope my creation is as worthy...

Yep, it's a lefty. Fortunately my buddy Alan is a southpaw and I was able to stand back and watch it bend a good bit before final sanding and finishing.

Brian - Do you call that a Frost Brewed Finish?  What's the optimum air temp for spraying the finish on a bow?  You must have an extra bright flash on your camera to get such nice pictures in your shop.
    That's a sweet bow!!
